ALFRED TERZIGH, OF SONORA, CALIFORNIA.

RELEEDY FOB POISON-OAK RASI-L' Specification of Letters Patent.

Patented Dec. 8, 1908.

Application filed September 23, 1907. Serial No. 394,057.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, ALFRED TERZICH, a citizen of the United States, residing at Sonora, in the county of Tuolumne and State of California, have invented or discovered a new and efiective Remedy for Poison- Oak Rash; and I do declare the following to be a full, clear, and accurate description ofthe same, such as will enable others skilled in the art to which it appertains to make and use the same.

This invention or discovery relates to i1nproved medicinal remedies and particularly to a remedy for poison oak rash, my object being to produce such an external remedy as will be easily and inexpensively compounded and one which will efiect a quick and sure relief from the effects of suchpoison. This object I accomplish by means of the certain compounding and blending of'elements as will appear by a perusal of the following specification and claims.

In preparing my remedy I take approximately eight pounds of soap root or Chlorogalum, four ounces of wild peach leaves or leaves of Amg gdalus pcrsz'ca, four ounces of salt and one gallon of water and boil the same to make three quarts of liquid after the residue is strained therefrom. To three quarts of this liquid I add one quart of alcohol and one ounce of glycerin. This when well mixed is ready for use.

To apply this remedy rub the same thoroughly over all the parts affected with the poison oak rash about every hour and leave the same on.

This remedy I find will cure the most insistent case of poison oak rash within fortyeight hours after the first application thereof. Thus it will be seen from the foregoing formula that I have produced such a remedy as fulfils the objects of the invention as set forth herein.

lVhile this specification sets forth in detail the present and preferred method of blend ing the several elements of my improved compound, still in practice such small deviations therefrom may be resorted to within the scope of my claims without departing from the spirit of my invention.

Having thus described my invention what I claim as new and useful and desire to secure by Letters Patent is p 1. A topical remedy consisting of a mixture of three quarts of an aqueous decoction of the root of Uhlorogalum and leaves of Amygclalus pcrsz'ca, with four ounces of salt, one quart of alcohol and one ounce of glycerin.

2. A topical remedy consisting of an aqueous decoction of the root of Ohlorogalmn and leaves of Amg gdal'us pcrsz'ca, and salt, alcohol and glycerin in about the proportions specified.

In testimony whereof I afiix my signature in presence of two witnesses.

ALFRED TERZICH.
